Publisher's Summary

Could you be getting in your way of producing great work? Have you started a project but never finished? Would you like to do work that matters, but don't know where to start? The answer is Do the Work, a manifesto by best-selling author Steven Pressfield, that will show you that it’s not about better ideas, it’s about actually doing the work. Do the Work is a weapon against Resistance - a tool that will help you take action and successfully ship projects out the door.

“There is an enemy. There is an intelligent, active, malign force working against us. Step one is to recognize this. This recognition alone is enormously powerful. It saved my life, and it will save yours.” For other titles like Do the Work, visit thedominoproject.com for more information.

Ignore the cover; this book has magic in it!

If you're working on a creative project Steven does an excellent job helping you to get your head around the "how to" aspects. An excellent resource.

We all need reminding

I have returned to this book again and been delightfully reminded that the effort to make change is huge but worth it. No one that attempts anything worthwhile achieved it without the constant battle between that which you want to bring to the world and the internal resistance to stay small.

Get motivated/free yourself to fulfil your dreams.

Helpful to take a look at internal resistance versus strategies to assist in reaching your goals. Important messages which have helped me.

Highly recommended

Stephen’s book spoke to my heart. It was a book that was recommended to me as I begin a journey of interweaving business and advocacy visions into one. As he started the book and spoke about resistance, I knew this book was for me. After listening, my first action will be to articulate the outcome of my services to my clients - what is it that they will walk away with from having worked with me. I haven’t done that yet. I did it for what I wanted as an outcome. I hadn’t seen their journey fully. I don’t even need to get it completely right, but something articulated is a beginning. That will help me set course and keep the momentum, The work I’m going to be delivering is meaningful and life changing, it’s about being vulnerable, compassionate, in work and life, and also advocacy and breaking the silence. Fear and resistance I understand! Thank you Stephen, you poured a lot of wisdom into a very short read! It was really easy to listen to. I’m going to listen to it a second time.
